The Honorable Ben Bernanke The Honorable Tom Curry Chairman Comptroller The Federal Reserve System Office of the Comptroller of the Currency 20th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, 250 E. Street, SW Washington, DC 20551. Washington, DC 20551. The Honorable Martin J. Gruenberg Acting Chairman Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 550 17th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20429. RE: Regulatory Capital Rules: (1). Regulatory Capital, Implementation of Basel I I I, Minimum Regulatory Capital Ratios, Capital Adequacy, Transition Provisions, and Prompt Correction Act: Docket Number R-1442; RIN 3064-AD95; Docket ID OCC-2012-0008; and (2). Standardized Approach for Risk-Weighted Assets, Market Discipline and Disclosure Requirements: RIN Number 7100-AD87; RIN 3064-AD96; Docket ID OCC-2012- 0009. Dear Chairman Bernanke, Acting Chairman Gruenberg, and Comptroller Curry: The undersigned Members of Congress representing the State of Wisconsin respectfully submit the following comments expressing concerns with the potential impact that Basel I I I regulatory capital requirements may have on community banks in Wisconsin. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act already imposes minimum capital and risk-based capital requirements on all banks, and banks are complying with these requirements. In addition, the agreement reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (Basel I I I) has prompted your various agencies to release a joint notice of proposed rulemakings to revise risk-based and leverage requirements that will apply to all U.S. banks, with the exception of bank holding companies that have consolidated assets of less than $500 million.

  • 2011-2012 Wisconsin Blue Book: Statistics
    STATISTICS: HISTORY 679 HIGHLIGHTS OF HISTORY IN WISCONSIN History — On May 29, 1848, Wisconsin became the 30th state in the Union, but the state’s written history dates back more than 300 years to the time when the French first encountered the diverse Native Americans who lived here. In 1634, the French explorer Jean Nicolet landed at Green Bay, reportedly becoming the first European to visit Wisconsin. The French ceded the area to Great Britain in 1763, and it became part of the United States in 1783. First organized under the Northwest Ordinance, the area was part of various territories until creation of the Wisconsin Territory in 1836. Since statehood, Wisconsin has been a wheat farming area, a lumbering frontier, and a preeminent dairy state. Tourism has grown in importance, and industry has concentrated in the eastern and southeastern part of the state. Politically, the state has enjoyed a reputation for honest, efficient government. It is known as the birthplace of the Republican Party and the home of Robert M. La Follette, Sr., founder of the progressive movement. Political Balance — After being primarily a one-party state for most of its existence, with the Republican and Progressive Parties dominating during portions of the state’s first century, Wisconsin has become a politically competitive state in recent decades. The Republicans gained majority control in both houses in the 1995 Legislature, an advantage they last held during the 1969 session. Since then, control of the senate has changed several times. In 2009, the Democrats gained control of both houses for the first time since 1993; both houses returned to Republican control in 2011.

  • Powers Legislative Practice Group Date
    M E M O R A N D U M To: American Therapeutic Recreation Association From: Powers Legislative Practice Group Date: November 5, 2014 Re: 2014 Election Overview and Implications _____________________________________________________________________________ In the mid-term elections of November 5, the Republican Party won control of the Senate and added members to its majority in the House. Republicans now control both houses of Congress for the first time since the 109th Congress during President George W. Bush’s presidency. The current balance of power in the new Congress, compared with the current Congress, is described below. A majority in the House is 218 votes, while a majority in the Senate is 51 votes (60 votes for a filibuster-proof majority). Net Gains for Republicans in the 114th Congress (Beginning in January 2015) Senate House Governors Republicans 52 (+7) 243 (+13) 31 (+3) Democrats 43 (-5) 179 (-13) 17 (-3) Independents 2* (same) 0 0 (same) Pending 3** 13 2 * Sen. Angus King (I-ME) and Sen. Bernard Sanders (I-VT) currently caucus with the Democrats. **The Louisiana Senate race will head into a December runoff. The Virginia and Alaska Senate races are still too close to call. The Republican Party’s ability to retake the Senate and add to its majority in the House has major implications for the health care agenda of the 114th Congress. Discussed below are predictions for the lame duck session, the future of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a Medicare Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) fix including pay-fors, and entitlement reform. Potential Impact of Elections on the Lame Duck Session The House and Senate will reconvene on November 12.

  • May 27,2005 the Honorable Anthony Principi
    DCN 1199 Executive Correspondence May 27,2005 The Honorable Anthony Principi Chairman 2005 Defense Base Closure And Realignment Commission 2521 S. Clark St., Ste. 600 Arlington, VA 22202-3909 Dear Chairman Principi: We are extremely concerned about the recommendation of the Department of Defense to close the 440thARS at General Mitchell Field. We are disappointed with this recommendation and believe that a full review by the Commission will demonstrate the military value of the 440thARS. It is for this reason that we are distressed that neither the governor nor the Wisconsin congressional delegation was invited to participate in any of the BRAC Commission's regional hearings. Therefore, we respectfully request to participate in the 2 1 June regional hearing in Rapid City, SD or the 23 June regional hearing in Grand Forks, ND. The Commission's own press release reads: "The regional hearings will provide the primary means for communities to educate the Commissioners and their staffon the disagreements with the DoD base recommendations. Ifa potentially impacted community feels DoD deviated from the selection criteria, the regional hearings will provide those stakeholders with an opportunity to be involved in the information-gathering process and present to the Commission how and why the DoDproposals are flawed or should be changed. " To date, we have not been contacted by any BRAC Commissioners or BRAC Commission staff as to how the State of Wisconsin can communicate with the Commission and discuss the proposed recommendation of base closures and realignments made by the Secretary of Defense. If the regional hearings are the primary means of communication, the Commission should include our state in one of the scheduled hearings or schedule a new hearing in Wisconsin.
